Don Olsen:
Abstracts From Nature
Don Olsen: Abstracts from Nature
Opens December 2, 2010
This special exhibition commemorates the 100th birthday of abstract Utah artist Don Olsen (1910-1983). Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, abstraction was unfamiliar to many local audiences, and Olsen’s work was often misunderstood. Today, however, he is acknowledged as one of the most influential and gifted abstract artists to have worked in the region. A student of Hans Hoffmann, Olsen created abstract expressionist works using volumes, colors, and shapes derived from nature. Through large-scale paintings spanning more than forty years, Don Olsen: Abstracts from Nature will highlight prominent works from the artist’s oeuvre.
